Imaginary Creature Collages by Gr. 3

These collages are inspired by the book Creatures Creatures by Eric Carle.  Each student invented an imaginary creature that incorporates two or more existing animals.  We used Carle's method of painting our own tissue paper, and then using it for our collages.




Log Cabin Quilt Collages by Gr. 1

These quilt squares are based on the traditional quilt pattern called "log cabin".   


Self-Portrait Collages by Grade 2







Keith Haring Dog Collages by Gr. K

These colorful collages are inspired by the artwork of artist Keith Haring.  There is an amazing website dedicated to his artwork: www.haringkids.com




Domes and Towers Collages by Grade 5





These collages are still works in progress.  For inspiration we observed and discussed the architecture of St. Basil's Cathedral.  Students created a sketch of their own original building that incorporated at least four domes and four towers, as well as many patterns and designs.  We are now making collages of our buildings using construction and patterned paper.
